tagpix - Combine Your Photos for Easy Access

tagpix is a photo organizer that merges and labels photos for easier 
viewing and archiving.  With tagpix, access to a folder, and a few 
simple commands, control of your photo archives remains with you, 
not a proprietary, closed program or device. 

OVERVIEW

This portable Python command-line program runs on both Python 3.X and 2.X, 
and works on all major platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and
Android.  Its main role is to merge the content of disparate photo
collections spread across multiple folders. 

If your digital photo collection has become scattered over many folders; 
uses filenames that are not unique because of their origin on multiple 
cameras; hosts modification dates that reflect retouches instead of events; 
or contains arbitrary duplicates, tagpix may be the photo-organizing tool 
you've been looking for.  Running it on your photo folders transforms them
into a simple, uniform format that's ideal for both viewing and archiving,
and as private as the device on which it is stored.

tagpix transfers all the items in an entire source-folder tree to either
a single flat folder or group-by-year subfolders, and renames the items
transferred with date-taken or date-modified prefixes to make them unique.  
Date taken is extracted from standard photo-file Exif metadata tags or 
Android filename; any non-photo items (movies and other) are isolated in 
their own folders; files may be transferred by moves or copies per user 
settings; and duplicate content and filenames are found and resolved 
automatically.

This program is a source-code script run from a console, where all inputs
are prompted.  You can use it to create a new archive (e.g., for burning 
to optical disk), extend an existing one (e.g., for viewing), or do both 
for new photos with an extra post-run merge (e.g., by file-explorer GUI). 
However it is used, tagpix provides fast, convenient, and private access 
to all the photos you've shot over multiple years on multiple cameras.
